Keep Smiling

It is an effective and modern orthodontic system for tooth alignment and that is done in an almost invisible way. The aligners that are used are transparent and removable and they line your teeth gradually and in a very comfortable way.

The simplicity of the system is possible thanks to the sophisticated technology used in the design and development process. Keepsmiling combines diagnosis and treatment plan sent by your orthodontist KS who is certificated by the company, with advances in computer technology 3D.CAD/CAM.

The aligning plates are used 22 hours a day for three weeks. Then discarded and replaced with a new set. Each new set of plates brings the next move. Thus, the teeth are moving gradually and progressively until perfect alignment.

What are the advantages of KeepSmiling?

KeepSmiling is comfortable. Its use is pleasant and enjoyable thanks to the quality and flexibility of the materials they are made of. It is transparent and very aesthetic, virtually unseen. KeepSmiling is removable. You remove the aligners for meals and for brushing and flossing your teeth. KeepSmiling does not interfere with your lifestyle.

Does KeepSmiling Interfere with my speech?

Sometimes the plates may produce a temporary and very subtle lisp for a day or two in some patients. However, as your tongue gets used to the plates in the mouth, these alterations in pronunciation disappear.

How long does the KeepSmiling treatment last?

As other options, the duration of treatment vary depending on the complexity of the case. However, in cases completed to date, treatments with KeepSmiling have been completed in approximately the same amount of time as other alignment options in dental treatments. During your first visit, the dentist KS can estimate the duration of their treatment, as well as respond to any other questions you may have.

5 Mistakes You Might Make While Flossing

Flossing is a crucial part of dental hygiene, and one that shouldn’t be taken lightly; after all, it’s a tried-and-true method for getting rid of stubborn food particles that settle in hard-to-reach places between teeth, as well as an effective way to disrupt cavity-causing bacteria and keep them getting too comfortable. Of course, you might be thinking: how hard is it to drag some string between your teeth? Harder than you might think. Countless people make casual errors every day when flossing, and while it might not seem like a big deal at the time, you could find yourself in need of fillings or other restorative dental work before you know it. Here are five common mistakes that are made during flossing that you should watch out for:

When You Use the Same Section of Floss the Entire Time

As we said above, flossing removes harmful bacteria from between your teeth. Why would you want to move that bacteria around your mouth into new areas instead of getting rid of it altogether? It might seem wasteful, but when you use the exact same area of floss on multiple teeth, you can replace plaque that’s already been removed into a brand-new home.

When You Skip the Teeth in the Very Back

While some of your teeth may have an open space next to them, it’s still important to work the floss behind them and do some cleaning. By doing this, you can make sure to remove bacteria that sometimes finds its way between your tooth and gums.

When You Snap the Floss between Your Teeth

Some of your teeth have very tight adjoining spaces. When you notice an area like this, try not to force the floss so that it jumps down against your gums. Instead, work the floss back and forth until it slides through. Snapping the floss not only hurts your gums, but it can also cause them to recede. Gum disease might not be far behind, too.

When You Quit Because Your Gums Start Bleeding

We understand that the sight and taste of blood can be scary sometimes, but don’t worry! You’re not hurting your gums. You’re just suffering from gingivitis, a condition that happens when your body sends more blood to the gums so that they can fight off growing plaque. You can alleviate this condition by removing that plaque with flossing. After a few days of dedicated flossing, your gums should return to normal!

When You Floss Aimlessly Without Keeping Track Of Your Teeth

You have a fair amount of teeth, and when you’re flossing, it can be easy to become distracted and accidentally skip one or two. Creating a plan that you follow whenever you floss will guarantee that you leave no area untouched. As long as you stick to it, you shouldn’t have any problems! Just be sure to watch out for these common mistakes, and keep flossing! Your teeth will thank you.
